Using MM AND Tom Copeland's Tax Workbook & Organizer: MM adds T/S% to Expenses :/

[M&Mgal]

I use Minute Menu and just got Tom Copeland's Tax Workbook & Organizer. In the business expenses section, you are supposed to enter how much you spent before applying the T/S% but Minute Menu's expense report only shows the total amounts after applying the T/S%. Is there anyway to get MM to not apply it or do I have to add the expenses up by hand to get totals?

Does it have you apply the T/S to the total later?

In the Schedule C Detailed Expenses Report and the Form 8829 Detailed Expenses report it shows each expense before and after the time-space % is applied. In the updated version of MM that will come out next year it will do what you want it to do.

Ugh, ok thanks Tom. More work to do... guess I shouldn't be complaining, since the book & Minute Menu do make it easier than it would be without them

If it has you apply the T/S later then it shouldn't make a difference. Just skip the step where you apply the T/S because it's already applied.

Good idea Amy! I can do that for the business expenses, so it will save some time/work. Unfortunately, can't do that for the home expenses. Sure wish there was some way to "turn off" the T/S% from being applied to everything automatically. Can't wait for the updated version of MM!
